conversations & collaborations

IN 2018, WE ARE GOING TO START TALKING ABOUT THE WORK.

Of course, we already yak on a lot between ourselves, but we’ve decided it’s time to take the informal chats we have around the breakfast table (about acting, directing, producing and teaching) and share them a little more widely.

For those who don’t know us, we are Nicholas Coghlan and Ming-Zhu Hii — husband and wife — both performers, writers, directors and producers in various capacities: of film, theatre and other media. We both work a lot, and very diversely, across the arts and entertainment industries.

Nick is also a teacher, and MZ has an extensive small business background, and a very historical practice of writing about theatre (and related forms) and questions of representation in the arts. We’re both obsessed with the poetry and practice of performance; and the interrogation, the deep inherent value, and imperative for integrity in story-based practices.

Now, because we’re mad idiots who work crazy hours, getting around to opening up the doors to the “studio” in a format that is compelling and reasonably well-produced is going to take some time. For now, the promise is that it will happen some time this year.
